(24,689 posts)but by a very narrow margin. It might be narrow enough to salvage the Mittens. His campaign and supporters will say Dem voters stole the election. Not sure that will work but it might.

(24,689 posts)I really dont think they want to dump Romney unless they think they absolutely have to. At least the crossover thing gives them something.
joshcryer
(62,265 posts)Mittens just tied it. 40-40
DCBob
(24,689 posts)weird.
joshcryer
(62,265 posts)joshcryer
(62,265 posts)Romney will win this one.
DCBob
(24,689 posts)also the early vote factor may have been bigger than many thought.
joshcryer
(62,265 posts)I think Romney will just pull this one out, maybe 2-3% at most, but he's OK.
rufus dog
(8,419 posts)Just a bunch of squares for the most part.

(62,265 posts)OMG I'm looking at this map and it's crazy! Wow. Watch carefully because things are going to get interesting!
rufus dog
(8,419 posts)just checked the maps and you nailed it, area around Grand Rapids is solid Santorum with Counties needing to report. What goes on in the upper Eastern part of the state?
joshcryer
(62,265 posts)It's going to be a lot closer than people think but Romney will still win.
Note: I'm just assuming for sake of argument that rural areas are going to trend toward Santorum. For my math I assume about 400 votes more per county, using Delta County as a metric (he won that county 43/32).

(645 posts)Santos performance there pretty much determines if he still has shot or not.
Tx4obama
(36,974 posts)Maddow was just now going to a commercial break and the microphones picked up Chris Matthews quietly saying in the background "I think it's close"
I hope so
p.s. I have only the audio on so I'm not sure if he was on camera or not.
Mr.Turnip
(645 posts)Will it keep going?

(36,974 posts)that in a couple counties the votes are mainly absentee and not the votes from today
so there is still A LOT of votes still not in/counted.
Mr.Turnip
(645 posts)Tx4obama
(36,974 posts)and he said that in one place that there were around 80,000 votes still not added to the totals.
